Designing an aircraft which climbs as high as possible, with minimum drag at a low lift coefficient, but then must convert to a slow flying glider, is a challenge unique in aviation.

Getting higher lift coefficients as a result of boundary layer removal is well known on propellers ( centrifugal force causing an outward displacement of the boundary layer ), or wings ( boundary-layer suction ).
43.
Most modern aircraft use trailing edge flaps on the main wing to increase the wings lift coefficient during take off and landing; thus allowing the wing to be smaller than it would otherwise need to be.

Reducing the surface roughness reduced the drag at low lift coefficients to a level representative of laminar flow to 35 % of chord . shows the critical wave height to be 0.0053 inches for this application.
45.
Wind tunnel tests suggested that the lower lift coefficient of the rear wing would require higher landing speeds than for conventional monoplane but that the tandem wing would have slightly lower drag at incidences up to about 10?
46.
In 1929, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics ( NACA ) investigations found that the upper wing carried a higher lift coefficient than the lower wing at high speeds it could be 2.55 times as much.
47.
When the lift coefficient is zero an airfoil is generating no lift but a conventionally cambered airfoil generates a nose-down pitching moment, so the location of the center of pressure is an infinite distance behind the airfoil.

In 1999 he developed the first bridleless arch style ram air kite, primarily for kitesurfing . leading edge inflatable ( LEI ) sled kites but have slightly lower lift coefficient ( less power from the same size kite ).

Showing that the blade efficiency is determined by its momentum and its qualities in the form of angles \ scriptstyle \ varphi and \ scriptstyle \ beta, where \ scriptstyle \ beta is the ratio of the drag and lift coefficients.
50.
When the lift coefficient is zero an airfoil is generating no lift but a reflex-cambered airfoil generates a nose-up pitching moment, so the location of the center of pressure is an infinite distance ahead of the airfoil.
